Love it, great productivity motivator, but please please please make a port to Linux I make most of my creative writing there and will switch this remaining system over soon as well.

The lootboxes are every 30 minutes or so which allows you to gain a huge amount of cosmetics which makes the gameplay much more addictive.
Graphics

The animations are smooth, the art style is simple but expressive, and the cheerful atmosphere makes Bongo Cat a pleasant companion during gaming sessions, schoolwork, or everyday computer use.

i dont rlly know how you could give this a bad rating tbh. a simple little game to provide a lil cute cat on your screen. microtransactions are in the game but can be completely ignored. i used it for about 10 hours before even discovering that there even was a menu
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Adding optional click/tap sound effects would be really nice, something subtle or customizable.
